We have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Although the ending was really sad, we were all really enthusiastic about discovering why something like this had happened. We had a great discussion, and as the Holocaust was something we wanted to find out more about, we researched lots of information on a website.
To make our story even better, we’ve been learning how to use show not tell sentences and using loads of impressive adjectives to describe the different settings.
